Before beginning prayer, start with these words:
And you shall warn the Sons of Yishraael from their impurity,

Upon the hands:
Shehmaa will command the blessing

My Master, in Your holy tranquility for ever and ever.

from heart and from soul.

Upon the nose:
And breath entered his nostrils, the breath of life;
And man became a living soul.’

Upon the face:

We announce and say:
There is no god but the One!
Shehmaa is our Eloowwem! Shehmaa is one!*
There is no god but the One!

I have faith in You, Shehmaa,

and in Mooshe son of ‘Aamraam Your servant,

and in the Holy Toorah,

and in Aargaareezem the House of El,

chosen, holy, choice of lands.

There is no god but the One!
And I will testify for the Day of Vengeance and complete truth forever,
There is no god but the One!
Upon it we live, and upon it we die, and upon it we stand,
between Your holy Hands,
from the adored and beloved,
ah, Aadaanee Shehmaa!

Upon the ears:

And do what is right in His sight,
and give ear to His commandments,
and keep all His statutes,
[and] I will put none of the diseases on you
which I have put on the Missrems.
For I, Shehmaa, am your healer.°

Aadaanee Shehmaa, heal us from all sickness!

Upon the legs:
And Mooshe, Aahrron, and his sons
would wash their hands and their feet with water from it.
Whenever they went into the tabernacle of meeting,
and when they came near the altar, they washed,
as Shehmaa had commanded Mooshe.°

Conclusion:
Peace of Shehmaa upon the prophet,
The righteous, the innocent, the pure, the faithful Mooshe.
Innocent from all defect,
No prophet is like him,
We seek his prayers in this world and the next,
ah, Aadaanee Shehmaa!

we are strengthened in Your strength,
and we cling to You,
and we circumcise our hearts for awe of You.
And we Say in full voice: None is like our Shehmaa our Eloowwem! Shehmaa is one!
There is no god but the One.
Forever, from head to tail,
There is no god but the One.
In the evening and the morning,
There is no god but the One.
Praise to Your great and victorious Name,
There is no god but the One.
Hear, Yishraael! Shehmaa is our Eloowwem! Shehmaa is one!”

True testimony that is never changed,
True testimony that is never ever nullified,
There is no god but the One.
Say as one mouth,
I have faith in You, Shehmaa,
and in Mooshe Your servant,
and the Holy Toorah,
and in Aargaareezem the House of El, chosen, holy, choice of lands.
There is no god but the One!
I will recall for good forever,
the prophet, the righteous, the innocent, the pure,
the faithful Mooshe, son of ‘Aamraam,

79 SP Deuteronomy 6:4 — aalaak "These are the Words", kissa 37

English translation of the Israelite Samaritan Weekday Prayerbook

man of Eloowwem,
prophet of all existence.,
whom Shehmaa sent him upon creation and the Day of Vengeance,
whom no prophet like him has arose,
nor will ever come —
peace of Shehmaa upon him!
In purity of heart and mouth,
peace of Shehmaa upon him!
And upon his house, the pure ones,
and upon his brothers Aahrron and his sons, the annointed priests,
priests of eternal JI,
peace of Shehmaa upon him!
And upon his fathers and foundations given to humanity,
peace of Shehmaa upon him!
And upon his fathers and foundations, the earth’s worthy Abraahm, Yesaahq, and Yaaqob,
the three worthy masters of existence,
upon them be peace!
Of them we pray and say:
Aadaanee Shehmaa, existing II,
Aadaanee Shehmaa, eternal II!
Praised, magnified, exalted,
worshipped every night and day!
You are Always, until eternity,
From creation to the Day of Vengeance.
Blessed be our Eloowwem forever,
and blessed be His Name forever.
